How Vodafone Business IoT mobilised the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) now touches almost every aspect of our lives and Vodafone has been instrumental in its development.

We have been pioneering IoT connectivity for over 30 years, and launched our own Managed IoT Connectivity platform in 2010. We recognised that connecting devices – which can be monitored and controlled through mobile technology – had the potential to transform lives and businesses for the better.

Pioneering cellular IoT connectivity

Since its launch, Vodafone Business IoT has adapted the secure standardised cellular technology we all use with our mobile phones for ever more ubiquitous and sophisticated machine-to-machine communication.

We pioneered the development of new low power wide area cellular technology capable of connecting sensors in remote locations or deep underground, like water meters, subterranean parking lots or agricultural and environmental monitors.

The deployment of high-capacity, super-fast 5G cellular connectivity, powers a range of exciting new IoT applications from augmented and virtual reality to connected vehicles, smart city developments and even remote surgery.

Global leadership in IoT

Today, Vodafone Business IoT is the largest global provider of IoT, connecting more than 187 million devices in over 190 countries and recognised for our leadership across IoT connectivity, roaming and industrial services by five of the world’s leading independent analysts.

But it’s what you do with the technology that counts.

Innovation focused on outcomes

We have helped thousands of businesses, including many of the world’s major brands, harness IoT to improve their efficiency, productivity and sustainability as well as create new business models and sources of revenue.

Vodafone Business IoT works with everyone from the manufacturers of connected cars, trains, planes, electric vehicle chargers and solar panels to those involved in retail, logistics, energy distribution, healthcare and the preservation of our natural environment.

And just as the Internet of Things continues to move forward, so do we.
